Alma "Renee Ambler" Garrison, 77, passed away peacefully August 10, 2025 surrounded by her loving family.

Alma was born November 4, 1947 in Kansas City, Missouri. As a teenager she did bicycle delivery at the store her father owned, Hardesty Market. She graduated from Northeast High School and was an active member at Oakley United Methodist Church. She served as a daycare provider for her family, the church, and Thatcher Elementary School. She collected dolls, was passionate about animals, and loved working on crafts and listening to Elvis. She was very involved in her grandchildren's lives as they grew up, and they adored their Grandma Renee.

She was proceeded in death by her father and mother, Ralph and Ruby Ambler. She is survived by her husband of 25 years, Randy Garrison; daughters Neva (Joseph) Caravella and Amy (Kevin) Schultz; and six grandchildren, Anthony (Stefanie) Caravella, Dr. Brianna Caravella, Gabriella Caravella, Haley Schultz, Rachel Schultz, and Carson Schultz.

In her final years she lost her vision and ability to walk, but her family is grateful she is now walking and enjoying the sights of Heaven. She was loved dearly and will be greatly missed.
